Students measure to the nearest centimeter, and predict the frequency of an event. In this statistics lesson, students participate in a simulation of a parachute jump competition by making paper Whirlybirds, and then dropping them...

In this electromagnetic spectrum activity, students review all regions of the spectrum in order from longest to shortest wavelength. Students list all possible values for specific quantum numbers. This activity has 20 problems to solve.

In this image processing worksheet, students complete 4 steps related to image processing. First, they work in teams of 2-3 and create a hard copy report and documented m-files. Then, students try compression at various quality levels...

In this matrices and vectors learning exercise, students solve 9 various types of problems related to forming matrices and vectors. First, they set up each system of equations listed in matrix form using mathematical notation. Then,...

Students manipulate a model of a wave in order to solve the wave equation in 1 dimension. By using a model of a wave on a string the student is able to change the tension, length, and mass of the string as well as fix either end of the...

Sixth graders are introduced to the concepts of sound waves and frequency. As a class, they listen to the differences between different types of instruments. To end the lesson, they practice identifying low and high pitches and playing...

Students demonstrate sound waves and make changes in the waves resulting in changes in pitch. Students associate changes in pitch in various "musical instruments"with size and shape and the sound waves they produce.

Students examine the history of equal temperament, the modern standard of tuning a piano. Proportion calculations of octaves and perfect fifths are utilized to calculate the frequency of each note in a major scale.
